Fearless

I wanted something brilliant or amazing or outstanding to write on my blog on the last day of the year, but I felt small, unnoticed and unimportant. What could I say that hasn't already been said a thousand times before?

The sun was sinking in the west as I was heading home from work. Songs were playing on the radio. Songs like these: "He Knows My Name" and "Call It Grace". Phrases were jumping out at me...It's the light that pierces through you to the darkest hidden place, It knows your deepest secrets but it never looks away... It's nothing less than scandalous, this love that took our place...

And I was reminded again that it's not about me, it's about Him. Without His love I would be nothing. There is nothing I can do to make Him love me more. There is nothing I can do that would make Him love me less. It's not even about trying to love others or myself, but it's letting Him love me.

I've been reflecting on the past year...the glad things,the bad things,the sad things. He was there. Through it all. His LOVE overshadowed every part of my life. How do I know? He talks to me, telling me things He knows I need to know (they wouldn't make sense to anyone else!). He calls me by name. He shows me my own heart, which I don't even understand. He calls me to life. He speaks peace. 

As I look at the next year this is my theme song:

Fearless by Mia Fields

May you fearlessly follow Him this year, as well!
